What makes an award-winning network?
One that gives all our customers the service they want.
More reliability. Making sure that everyone can do what they need to. Which is why we're putting extra money into making our network even better. Over the last few years we've spent over £1billion building our network. And we're making changes every day.
Take a look.
We promise to:
- Minimise the impact of our network on the environment
- Keep spending. We currently invest the equivalent of over £1 million a day on improving our network – that’s a 25% increase on last year
- Look after you. Our local engineers work 24 hours a day, 365 days a year to keep our network running
- Be prepared to deal with the growing pressure on our network. Every six months, our customers use our network twice as much.
